GENERATOR SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES
NORMAL SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:
Place both the 1. MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers
as shown in Figure 53 to the OFF position..
Main, GFCI and Load Figure 53.
Circuit Breakers Off
Place the engine speed switch (Figure 54) in the “ 2. LOW”
(down) position..
Ignition Switch (Normal) Figure 54.
Let the engine cool by running it at low speed for 3-5 3.
minutes with no load applied.
Place the 4. MPEC Control Switch (Figure 55) to the
OFF/RESET position.
MPEC Control Switch (Off/Reset) Figure 55.
Verify that 5. all status LEDs on the MPEC display are
OFF (not lit).
Remove all loads from the generator. 6.
Inspect entire generator for any damage or loosening 7.
of components that may have occurred during
operation.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Place the 1. MPEC Control Switch (Figure 55) in the
OFF/RESET position.
The 12. tachometer gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPM’s.
Engine Tachometer Gauge Figure 50.
Place the 13. main, GFCI, and aux. circuit breakers in the
ON position (Figure 51).
Main, Aux. and GFCI Figure 51.
Circuit Breakers (ON)
Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 52) and 14.
verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with
respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a
current reading if a load is in use.
Ammeter (Load) Figure 52.
The generator will run until manually stopped or an 15.
abnormal condition occurs.
WARNING
NEVER stop the engine suddenly except in an
emergency.
